Francesco Bosso's Timeless Roots at Photo&Contemporary in Turin

exhibition · 2026-04-26

Francesco Bosso (b. 1959, Barletta; lives in Barletta) presents 'Timeless Roots' at Photo&Contemporary gallery in Turin, featuring twelve large-format black-and-white photographs from two series: 'Alive' and 'Waterheaven'. The works distill nature into apparitions, with images of ancient olive trees threatened by Xylella and ethereal islands rendered through long exposure. Bosso uses a view camera, large format, darkroom, and selenium-toned analog printing, emphasizing subtraction and ascetic discipline. The exhibition invites contemplation and silence, countering contemporary visual saturation.
